"Dahlia, stop playing! Don't you see Ifrit is about to die of worry?" Kanna snapped, seeing that the other party was still playing.
Then, under everyone's gaze, a stream of water rose from beside Ifrit, encircling her in the center. The water then began to gather not far from Ifrit, and a "water" figure resembling Dahlia stood on the surface of the lake.
Upon seeing this, all those in the know, including Kal'tsit, looked at Kanna, hoping she could provide an explanation.
"You're not mistaken, this is Dahlia now, or rather, Purewater Spirit Dahlia. Her physical body was too deeply Infected by Originium. Since Dahlia's life couldn't be saved under such high-concentration oripathy, then why not just discard the physical body? Don't look at me like that, it couldn't be helped. And don't look at Dahlia's current appearance; as long as rivers flow and rain never ceases, she will not disappear or die."
Dahlia, now transformed into a large hand, lifted Ifrit and brought her to the edge of the crowd.
"You mean Dahlia turned into this lake?" Silence found it unbelievable.
"No, Dahlia didn't turn into this lake, but simply water. Dahlia, stop playing and come to my palm." Kanna said, seeing Dahlia using flowing water to create a swing and carrying Ifrit, swaying back and forth on the water.
Hearing Kanna's words, Dahlia placed Ifrit next to Kanna. Then, under everyone's gaze, a condensed water sphere jumped out of the lake and bounced around in Kanna's hand. It was clear that even though she had just transformed into a Purewater Spirit, her powerful control over water allowed her to easily master the Purewater Spirit mode.
"The purer the water source, the stronger the Purewater Spirit's power will be, and where there is a Purewater Spirit, the water quality there will gradually improve and get better." After showing it around to everyone, Kanna handed the water sphere to Ifrit. Once in Ifrit's hand, the water sphere transformed into a miniature Dahlia, who, to Ifrit's astonished gaze, hopped onto her head and sat there.
"Is this the solution you came up with?" Kal'tsit felt a little disappointed. She hadn't expected Kanna's solution to be like this. Although she didn't know what this thing called a Purewater Spirit was, it was clear that the other party was no longer within the human realm, which was almost meaningless for her oripathy research.
"Uh... not really. I can only say it was a desperate measure. If Dahlia hadn't been on her last legs, I wouldn't have wanted to use this method." Sensing Kal'tsit's disappointment, Kanna just shrugged helplessly.
Warfarin, on the other hand, was very interested in Purewater Spirit Dahlia. She walked to Ifrit's side, reached out and poked the little Dahlia on her head, then looked at the residual liquid left on her hand and unhesitatingly put it in her mouth.
The next second, she widened her eyes. The seemingly ordinary liquid contained an extremely rich vitality. As a Doctor, she could confirm that this liquid was very suitable for use when treating patients, as it would enhance the treatment effect by several grades.
However, these liquids came from this "life" that Kanna called a Purewater Spirit. She didn't know if her action just now would cause harm to the other party.
Kanna also saw Warfarin's action. "Purewater Spirits are lives that originate from water. As long as there is water, she can revive indefinitely. And if needed, a Purewater Spirit can modify water flow. In the world of flowing water, nothing can understand everything in the water better than a Purewater Spirit. If needed, she can produce water that can be directly used, contains no impurities, and is rich in vitality. So you don't need to worry that your action just now will harm Dahlia."
"Can Dahlia come back with us?" Kal'tsit asked.
"Of course! Dahlia is a Purewater Spirit, not a Lake Spirit. As long as water flows, she won't be confined anywhere. However, if possible, a large bucket filled with water would be best, after all, who likes to be cramped when they can be comfortable?" Kanna pointed to the water bucket not far away.
"Notify all squads to withdraw. Silence and Saria, I hope what happened here is not known to anyone outside Rhodes Island for now. To other Operators, I also hope you don't speak of anything that happened here. We still have many aspects of Dahlia's situation to understand and resolve." Kal'tsit first spoke into her communicator, then turned to the people around her.
"Understood!" Everyone got into their vehicles and headed towards Rhodes Island. In one of them, Ifrit was curiously watching Dahlia, who was transforming into various shapes above the water bucket.
"Can you hear me?" Ifrit asked.
Dahlia nodded after hearing her.
"Then can you speak?" Ifrit continued to ask.
Dahlia first nodded, then shook her head.
"Dahlia has just transformed into a Purewater Spirit. For us ordinary people, it's like she's just been born. She still needs time to understand her own power. Once she fully controls everything about herself, she can simulate vocal organs through the fluctuations of water flow. Then she'll be able to talk to you." Kanna explained, seeing Ifrit look over with a puzzled expression.
"You know a lot about Purewater Spirits?" Kal'tsit suddenly asked.
"Of course, back then, to get Endora, I was tricked into farming Purewater for two whole months..." Kanna looked at Dahlia, who was hopping around on Ifrit's head, and couldn't help but complain as she recalled her experience of being deceived by her mischievous friends in the group chat.
"Hmm?" A group of people looked at Kanna. Although they understood every word, when put together, they couldn't understand what she was saying.
Kanna also covered her mouth. "Holy cow, I almost blurted out something I shouldn't have... That old lynx Kal'tsit is so insidious, she actually ambushed me when I wasn't paying attention..."
Kal'tsit stared deeply at Kanna, then turned away, pondering the content of Kanna's brief statement.
Back on Rhodes Island, looking at Dahlia being sent into the water zone, Kal'tsit covered her forehead.
"You mean Dahlia can not only purify water but also control all the flowing water on Rhodes Island? And can appear anywhere there's water?"
"That's natural! Otherwise, what do you think a Purewater Spirit is? A purified water filter? Water spirits, water spirits, water is their everything, so they can naturally control all water." Kanna stood with her hands on her hips, looking smug, completely unaware of what mistake she had made.
"Then am I to understand that from now on, all life and ecology across Rhodes Island are in the hands of a child with less than four years of life experience?"
